Winter has its charm, with its twinkling lights, cozy clothes and the sweetness of hot chocolate shared by a fireplace. But for many, the bitter cold and gray days are not enchanting. Fortunately, there are ideal destinations to escape under the sun, far from the crowds and the hustle and bustle of big cities. Among them, Vietnam stands out as a perfect haven for a sunny winter, full of warmth and a change of scenery.
The discreet charm of an off-the-beaten-track destination
Around the world, several destinations promise a sunny and enchanting winter, such as Zanzibar, Mexico or the Antilles. However, these places, often very popular, sometimes lose tranquility because of their popularity.
Fortunately, there is one country that still remains safe from large crowds. A sublime destination where there is a mild climate, affordable prices, and a special connection with the French. This is Vietnam, a country located in southeast Asia, on the South China Sea.
This Asian country seduces with its breathtaking landscapes, its cultural richness and its warm welcome. Between heavenly beaches, dynamic cities and lush nature, Vietnam has everything to please those looking for a total change of scenery, without sacrificing tranquility. To enjoy a sunny winter, with pleasant temperatures, it is best to head to the south of the country, notably to Ho Chi Minh City, Phu Quoc or the Mekong Delta, where temperatures oscillate between 25 and 30° c. The place is therefore ideal for strolling on fine sandy beaches, exploring green rice fields or taking a cruise along the rivers. Clear skies and low rainfall make this time one of the best to visit the country and enjoy a magnificent sunny winter.
To reach Vietnam from Paris, a direct flight is available from CDG airport, to the city of Ho Chi Minh City, in the south of the country. A flight that lasts approximately 11 to 12 hours, with a price ranging from €800 to €1200 in winter and during holiday periods.
The best activities to do to enjoy a sunny winter
Beyond enjoying a warm and pleasant climate, Vietnam offers a range of activities to do, to fully enjoy a sunny winter. Whether you are a fan of relaxation on the beaches, adventure or cultural discoveries, this country will satisfy all your desires for a change of scenery.
-To fully enjoy your stay, heavenly beaches seem to be an excellent option. You can head towards the island of Phu Quoc with turquoise waters and coconut trees, or the shores of Nha Trang and Mui Ne, which combine relaxation and water sports.
Vietnam also has a very rich cultural and historical heritage, which is just waiting to be explored. You will be able to take advantage of your stay to stock up on impressive discoveries. Ho Chi Minh City, for example, seduces with its museums, temples and traditional markets, while Hội An, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, amazes with its lantern-lit streets and colonial charm.
The pleasures don’t stop there, because Vietnamese gastronomy, with its phở, spring rolls and fresh seafood, promises a unique journey of the senses. And to top it all off, Vietnam remains an affordable destination where accommodation, food and activities remain accessible, offering a luxurious experience without breaking the bank. Add to that warm hospitality and special cultural links with France, and you have an unforgettable winter getaway.
Vietnam is therefore an ideal destination for a sunny winter, far from crowds and tumult. Prepare your bags now, to enjoy this freezing period in a different way, while exploring a new country with a thousand and one facets.
